No problem adding just this part of the bigger thing first, though. I
don't know what happened to that larger GUI overhaul, anyway.

It's trying to prioritise the various things that might need to be done.
Doesn't make much of a difference these days, but on things like the
Atari ST it gave much better responsiveness if you deal with some sorts
of event in preference to others, when more than one thing happens at the
same time.

No problem for something like this. It's just useful if for example you
take care to always deal with keypresses before you bother redrawing
background objects, etc...
